Abstract
The present disclosure provides an exhaust system support assembly (10) for coupling an exhaust member (F) to a vehicle (A). The exhaust system support assembly (10) includes an exhaust member mount assembly (52) couplable to the exhaust member (F), an isolation pin (32) received within at least a portion of the exhaust member mount assembly (52), and at least one resilient member (44,46) disposed between the exhaust member mount assembly (52) and the isolation pin (32). The exhaust system support assembly (10) further includes a pivot assembly (16) couplable to the vehicle (A), wherein the pivot assembly (16) slidably and rotatably receives the isolation pin (32).

10. An exhaust system support assembly for coupling an exhaust member to a vehicle, comprising:
-
(a) an exhaust member mount assembly, comprising; (i) at least one exhaust member mount bracket engageable with the exhaust member; (ii) at least one U-bolt couplable to the exhaust member mounting bracket, wherein the exhaust member is disposable between the exhaust member mounting bracket and the U-bolt; and (iii) an isolation bracket coupled to the at least one U-bolt, the isolation bracket having first and second transverse projections; (b) an isolation pin passing through the first and second transverse projections of the isolation bracket; (c) a first resilient member disposed between the first transverse projection of the isolation bracket and the isolation pin and a second resilient member disposed between the second transverse projection of the isolation bracket and the isolation pin; and (d) a pivot assembly couplable to the vehicle, wherein the pivot assembly slidably and rotatably receives the isolation pin. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 14, 15, 27)
